Cuando Digo Futuro

I invite you to believe me when I say future
if you don’t trust my word, trust the shine of a gesture
Believe in my body, believe in my hands that are fading.
I invite you to believe me when I say future
if you don’t believe in my eyes, believe in the anguish of a
scream
believe in the earth, believe in the rain, believe in the
sap.

There are twenty thousand new seeds in the valley since yesterday.
There are remnants of the desperate, there’s the man and the woman.
The metal has already melted down
there’s patience, we need to give more.

There’s a country in rocks and ruins under another country of bread
there’s a mother walking side by side with her clan.

The metal has already melted down
there’s patience, we need to give more.

There are four kids right now smiling in a plaza
and in the back of a bullet, a soldier who hasn’t slept.

And that pretty girl is cutting her skirt again
yes, it matters from a child to the length of a
dress.

The metal has already melted down
there’s patience, we need to give more.

I invite you to believe me when I say future.
